The pool and deck must be cleared of all swimmers in the event of thunder or lightning.
Parent or responsible guardian must watch their children closely whenever they are near or in the water regardless of their age or swimming ability. Children wearing "floaties," "water wings," etc., and/or unable to swim, must have an adult with them in the water within arm's reach at all times.
One float per swimmer and one swimmer per float at all times. Flotation devices used by non-swimmers must be Coast Guard approved (puddle jumpers and life vests only). Swimmers may not hide under, stand on top of, or flip floats.
No children under 12 years of age, regardless of swimming ability, are allowed in the pool area without a parent or responsible guardian 16 years or older. PARENTS OR SUPERVISING ADULTS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR WATCHING THEIR CHILDREN AT ALL TIMES.
No prolonged underwater swimming, breath-holding, or games including such behavior will be allowed.
Children 12-15 years of age who wish to swim without a parent or responsible 16 or older guardian present must pass the swim test. The pool manager or designated lifeguard will administer swim tests. The test will include having the child swim one length of the pool (without help or touching the bottom) and tread water for one minute. Children who do not pass the swim test will be restricted to swimming in the shallow end of the pool and must have a parent/guardian present at all times. Children who pass the swim test will be noted and may enter the pool without a parent or responsible 16-year-old guardian.
Patrons and guests who resist or fail to comply with Facility and Pool Safety rules may be asked to leave the pool deck.
